This CO2 Learning Center video, “Scientific Method,” explains how the scientific method works using an everyday problem the children in the video face.

The video breaks down the process into a series of steps to teach children how to practice critical thinking.

Step 1:
Ask a Question: Identifying a practical problem to solve. In the video, the children ask for the best route to ride their bikes to school.

Step 2:
Research & Observations: Looking into reasonable, possible answers.

Step 3:
Form a Hypothesis: Making an educated guess on what the best outcome will be.

Step 4:
Conduct an Experiment: Collecting complete and accurate information (data). The video explains why physically testing the routes with a stopwatch provides better variables (like traffic and hills) than just looking at a quick and easy map.

Step 5:
Draw Conclusions: Analyzing the results with an open mind. They discuss evaluating not just speed, but safety factors like traffic risks.

Step 6:
Share Results: Passing on the learned knowledge so others can benefit.

Ultimately, the video emphasizes that the scientific method isn’t just for complex science topics—it’s a time-proven tool for critical thinking that can be applied to solve many everyday challenges.

Join Ariana, Sophia, Emmit, and their friends as they explore the amazing Energy Grid – the invisible network that brings electricity to our homes, schools, and cities every single day!

In this fun and easy-to-understand video, the kids discover:

• How power plants, solar panels, wind turbines, and other sources work together to create electricity
• What the “grid” really is and why it’s so important
• How energy moves from where it’s made to where we use it
• The role of different energy sources – including the benefits of reliable, affordable power for people and the planet
• Fun facts about how energy connects to the natural world and the miracle molecule CO₂

Life Loves Warmth is a 21-minute video that highlights the critical role of warmth in fostering biodiversity and survival across Earth’s history. From the Devonian’s fish and forests to modern migrations of whales, birds, and manatees, life thrives in warm conditions while cold periods, like the Great Dying or modern winters, pose significant challenges. Humans, like other species, have adapted to seek warmth for survival.

Join sisters Elyssa, Sophia, and Ariana as they tell you about something very important that we take for granted — the air that surrounds us! This entertaining and engaging video explains the components of the air we breathe and the basics of photosynthesis.

Elyssa, Sophia, and Ariana are hanging out with their neighborhood friends learning how gases come alive!

Elyssa and her friends discuss four important gases in the atmosphere that are vital to life — oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and water vapor. But where do they come from? Join us and you’ll find out!

Ariana’s teacher told her there is a molecule made from atoms that is magical! It is H₂O (water) — the magic molecule! Sophia and Emmit explain the powers of this amazing hydrogen bond.

Ariana recently learned in school that there is a magical molecule! In The Magic Molecule: Part Two, the classmates discuss how H20 (water) plays an important role in moving heat around the Earth and how it helps make our weather and climate livable.

In this presentation, Dr. Sharon Camp addresses the widespread concern that the fossil fuel-driven increase in atmospheric CO2 is a detriment to our oceans and its marine life.
